Lanna Dialect

Lanna is the name of the North/North west region of Thailand. The dialect
of this region is fairly similar to Isaan, which is understandable given the
distance to Bangkok and emphasis on agriculture. For example, they also say

ºçÍà»ç¹ËÂÑ§bor bhen yang
never mind

The biggest difference is that women say à¨êÒjao as an end particle instead of
¤èÐka.

In Lanna, it is common to pronounce (and spell) words normally spelt
with a Ã àÃ×Í as if it was spelt with
Î ¹¡ÎÙ¡. e.g. ÃÑ¡ (love)
becomes ÎÑ¡. Also ª (ªéÒ§) may
be substituted with ¨ (¨Ò¹), e.g.
ªéÒ§ (elephant) becomes ¨éÒ§.

The mechanism is based on sound, for example, ËÙéàÃ×èÍ§¡èÍhoo reung go : Do you understand ? - Here an r sound was replaced by h.
